You'll find all the details on our "Attire" tab! Here is a brief overview: Welcome Party: We encourage vibrant Indian attire, such as lehengas, saris, or salwar kameez for women, and sherwanis, kurta pajamas, or Jodhpuri suits for men. Wedding Ceremony & Reception: Indian attire or western-style dresses with modesty are both great options. Please avoid black, plain white, and solid red for the ceremony itself. The reception will follow, so feel free to wear something comfortable for both. You are welcome to change for the reception, where all colors are acceptable.
